Photo Roman 2 (Bk. 2) (German Edition)

In this 'photo-novel,' Vienna-based photographer Ingeborg Strobl takes the viewer on an obsessive journey through sequences of photos that go deep into the microcosm of Austrian country life. Down on this farm, the dogs, pigs and cows talk (via captions and bubbles), but don't expect Charlotte's Web. The fauna and flora in Strobl's world tend toward existential statements worthy of Samuel Beckett: 'Nothingness,' murmurs a patch of mold in one of these beautifully lyrical yet graphically shocking photos. A book that sheds light on the turn of the millennium in Central and Eastern Europe, a period of change, uncertainty and moving in new directions.
